Kyrgyzstan is a country located in the mountainous region of Central Asia and considered to be one of the six Turkic nations that are independent. The word "Kyrgyz" originated from the Turk word meaning "forty". Another proper meaning of the word 'Kyrgyz" is unconquerable.
Kyrgyz tribes started to arrive from southern Siberia sometime around the 10th century, although they soon fell victim to Genghis Khan’s Mongol horde that was plundering and devastating vast tracts of Central Asia at this time. The Kyrgyz later became subjects of the Chinese and the Uzbek Kokand Khanate until Russian Tsarists colonised the region in the early 19th century.
On October 14, 1924, the Autonomous Republic of Kyrgyz Kara was established, part of the Soviet Union. On August 31, 1991, the Kyrgyz Supreme Soviet's Declaration of Independence was adopted by the State, formally declaring independence and changing the country's name to the Kyrgyz Republic.
The National flag of Kyrgyzstan was approved by Jogorku Kengesh on the 3rd of March, 1992 and represents a red cloth in the centre of which around the solar disk with forty uniformly diverging rays of golden colour are placed. Inside the solar disk, there is a red Tunduk of Kyrgyz yurt. The banner’s width is three-fifths of its length. The diameter of the radiant disk is three-fifths of the width of the flag. The ratio of the sun’s diameter to radiant disks is 3 to 5.The Tunduk’s diameter is half the diameter of the radiant disk.
The red color of the banner symbolizes valour and courage. This color was also on the banner of Manas, the hero of the famous Kyrgyz epic. In addition, the word "Kyrgyz" corresponds to the word "red", as a red color was traditionally venerated and considered a national color from times immemorial. The sun, bathing in its rays is a symbol of light, an eternity of existence, peace and wealth. Image of the sun resembles a roofing of Kirghiz nomads` typical yurt. This is a symbol of warmth and hospitality, the unity of time and space, the source of life and solidarity. 40 rays signify forty Kyrgyz tribes.
The forty rays of the sun signify the forty tribes who united against the Uyghers in 840 AD and succeeded in ending the Uigher Empire. The leader who united the forty tribes into a single state is Manas, a legendary hero in the Kyrgyz history who was believed to use the color red on his banner and which was later adopted as the national flag and the national color of Kyrgyzstan.
